if you need to hear it again ^this

ok so is this a univibe or a chorus or phaser. it sounds like a univibe but it also sounds like two pedals. univibe + chorus. or he is playing through an amp with tremolo. jimi like to overdub in the studio so this is a difficult one to say what exactly is going on. I'm looking at the voodoo microvibe, fulltone dejavibe, and the diamond halo chorus. the halo chorus has so many sounds in it. I think I would get more use out of it. the original univox univibe was for electric organs and the impedance was not optimized for guitar. I actually think this is important. listen to no quarter. like his tone knob is half way down. all the gear from the 60's and 70's is not as bright. the cables, the gear. :?: :?: :?: :?:

anyone help me out, what should I buy. and is it worth it to add resistance and capacitance before the vibe to get more vintage warm sound?

errr if we're talking the intro riff that plays throughout, that's Jones playing a keyboard/epiano through a phaser or phaser-like synth.

this might help if you're looking to buy 5-6 pedals :lol:

Throbby effects will do you well...I'm a big fan of the foxrox aquavibe and the catalinbread pareidolia.
Have you checked out the jack deville mod zero? That thing has tons of throbby effects (leslie/chorus/trem/tzf) packed into one pedal.

surprised to hear that it is jones on a rhodes not jimmy on a guitar. :joy: and even more surprised that someone figured out how to do this with a guitar. :omg:

in the video it says that the microsynth is just used for the filter. like a low pass filter with pitch tracking. I was going the other way and thinking of using cheap ass cables to make it muddy and roll off the brightness on some really mellow sounding guitar. I think its possible with two pedals. all the delay and reverb is not necessary. this is a recording project with my new band. delay and reverb is $0 in software. I also dont think there is anything too special about EH that cant be done with similar pedals. isn't the EH comb pedal just a phaser?

The keyboard part is running through a Maestro PS-1 -- big awesome vintage phaser -- not a univibe.

It's not true bypass obviously, and does darken your tone a bit.
